Power (Building)

Power is needed to run machinery in a subterranean asteroid colony.

Generators can produce power automatically, but they will consume various resources (in case of renewables: heat above 125 °C and daylight).

All carbon burners produce 110+ °C hot Carbon Dioxide in varying amounts, which significantly contributes to their heat-footprint.

For the general behavior of electricity see Power Circuits.

Batteries
Batteries store extra power that your duplicants create. They must be tied via power wires to run. They are used when no power is currently produced until they run out of stored power. Batteries are not limited in their output, if the network currently demands more than the wire can support even one battery can overload the wire.

Batteries slowly discharge when not in use. The amount of discharge (called "Power runoff") depends on the battery type.

Although not a battery themselves, power transformers also store some power - with the benefit that they do not discharge over time.
